• Intentional Contamination
• Sanitary Food Transportation
• Preventive Controls for Human Food
![Page 9: The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates...The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates Sacramento, Ca July 31, 2014 Clay Detlefsen, IDFA Dennis D'Amico, PhD. University of Connecticut](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf01b083768110360b343d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Proposed Rule for Foreign (and
Domestic*) Supplier Verification
Programs (FSVPs)
* Part of PC Food Rule under Supplemental Proposal*
![Page 10: The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates...The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates Sacramento, Ca July 31, 2014 Clay Detlefsen, IDFA Dennis D'Amico, PhD. University of Connecticut](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf01b083768110360b343d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
FSVP Requirements
• In general, importers would need to
conduct the following activities: – Compliance status review of foods and suppliers
– Hazard analysis
– Supplier verification activities
– Corrective actions (if necessary)
– Periodic reassessment of the FSVP
– Importer identification at entry
– Recordkeeping
![Page 11: The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates...The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates Sacramento, Ca July 31, 2014 Clay Detlefsen, IDFA Dennis D'Amico, PhD. University of Connecticut](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf01b083768110360b343d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Control of Hazards
• The proposed requirements for supplier
verification are primarily based on who is
to control the hazards that are reasonably
likely to occur.
– Supplier’s supplier
– Supplier
– Importer
– Importer’s Customer
![Page 12: The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates...The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates Sacramento, Ca July 31, 2014 Clay Detlefsen, IDFA Dennis D'Amico, PhD. University of Connecticut](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf01b083768110360b343d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Importer or Customer Controls
Hazard
• If the importer will be controlling a hazard
identified as reasonably likely to occur, the
importer would be required to document,
at least annually, that it has established
and is following procedures that
adequately control the hazard.
![Page 13: The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates...The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates Sacramento, Ca July 31, 2014 Clay Detlefsen, IDFA Dennis D'Amico, PhD. University of Connecticut](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf01b083768110360b343d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Importer or Customer Controls
Hazard (cont.)
• If the importer’s customer will be
controlling a hazard, the importer would
need to obtain written assurance, at least
annually, that its customer has established
and is following procedures that
adequately control the hazard.
![Page 14: The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates...The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates Sacramento, Ca July 31, 2014 Clay Detlefsen, IDFA Dennis D'Amico, PhD. University of Connecticut](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf01b083768110360b343d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Hazard Controlled by Foreign
Supplier or Its Supplier
• FDA is proposing two options for supplier
verification activities when: – The foreign supplier is to control a hazard or
– The foreign supplier’s supplier is controlling a hazard
• The options differ based on approach to hazards
that can cause serious adverse health
consequences or death to humans or animals
(SAHCODHA)
![Page 15: The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates...The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates Sacramento, Ca July 31, 2014 Clay Detlefsen, IDFA Dennis D'Amico, PhD. University of Connecticut](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf01b083768110360b343d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Option 1
• If the foreign supplier controls the hazard
at its establishment and it is a
SAHCODHA hazard, the importer would
be required to conduct or obtain
documentation of onsite auditing of the
foreign supplier. Boots must be on the
ground!
![Page 16: The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates...The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates Sacramento, Ca July 31, 2014 Clay Detlefsen, IDFA Dennis D'Amico, PhD. University of Connecticut](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf01b083768110360b343d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Option 1 (cont’d)
• For non-SAHCODHA hazards and all
hazards for which the foreign supplier
verifies control by its supplier, importers
would be required to choose a verification
activity: – Onsite auditing
– Sampling and testing
– Review of supplier food safety records
– Some other appropriate procedure
![Page 17: The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates...The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates Sacramento, Ca July 31, 2014 Clay Detlefsen, IDFA Dennis D'Amico, PhD. University of Connecticut](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf01b083768110360b343d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Option 2
• For all hazards that the foreign supplier
will either control or verify that its supplier
is controlling, importers would need to
choose a verification procedure from
among: – Onsite auditing
– Sampling and testing
– Review of supplier food safety records, or some other
appropriate procedure.
![Page 18: The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates...The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates Sacramento, Ca July 31, 2014 Clay Detlefsen, IDFA Dennis D'Amico, PhD. University of Connecticut](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf01b083768110360b343d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Effective and Compliance Dates
• Effective date expected to be 60 days after
publication of the final rule which is
anticipated to be 10/31/15
• Compliance dates – Generally 18 months after publication; or
– Six months after the importer’s foreign supplier is
required to comply with the new preventive controls or
produce safety regulations.
![Page 19: The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates...The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates Sacramento, Ca July 31, 2014 Clay Detlefsen, IDFA Dennis D'Amico, PhD. University of Connecticut](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf01b083768110360b343d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Proposed Rule for
Intentional
Contamination/Focused
Mitigation Strategies
![Page 20: The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates...The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates Sacramento, Ca July 31, 2014 Clay Detlefsen, IDFA Dennis D'Amico, PhD. University of Connecticut](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf01b083768110360b343d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Overview
• Scope is potential acts of terrorism that
could cause massive public harm and
economic disruption
– Excludes disgruntled employees, economic
adulteration
• Uses a HACCP framework, with different
terminology
![Page 21: The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates...The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates Sacramento, Ca July 31, 2014 Clay Detlefsen, IDFA Dennis D'Amico, PhD. University of Connecticut](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf01b083768110360b343d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Food Defense Plan Requirements
• Each facility would need to prepare a written food defense plan to: – Determine the steps in their process where food
defense measures are needed to address significant vulnerabilities (i.e., actionable process steps)
– Identify and implement focused mitigation strategies to significantly minimize and prevent these significant vulnerabilities
– Engage in monitoring, corrective actions, and verification of the focused mitigation activities
![Page 22: The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates...The Food Safety Modernization Act Updates Sacramento, Ca July 31, 2014 Clay Detlefsen, IDFA Dennis D'Amico, PhD. University of Connecticut](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070712/5ecf01b083768110360b343d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Key Takeaways
• HACCP framework reflects FDA’s desire for
consistency with food safety plans
• Rather than identify foods at high risk of
intentional adulteration by food type, focus is
on certain activities in food manufacturing
• FDA is NOT proposing to require broad
mitigation strategies – those general, facility-
wide mitigation measures (e.g., fences,
guards, exterior security cameras)

Effective and Compliance Dates
• Effective date expected to be 60 days after
publication of the final rule which is
anticipated to be 5/31/16
• Compliance dates:
– Two years for small businesses
– Three year for very small businesses (<10M)
– One year for all others

IDFA Requests to FDA:
• Keep plans basic
• Achieve compliance with FDA’s software
tool – Food Defense Plan Builder
• Allow plans to escalate in the event a
credible threat materializes
• Keep plans confidential
• FDA should develop its communication
plan based on the Food Facility
Registration system

Curriculum • Similar to seafood and juice HACCP
– focuses more broadly and beyond process control
• Process Controls – Process specific controls (CCPs) that must be validated (e.g.
pasteurization)
• Allergen controls – Labeling, Cross-contact prevention
• Sanitation controls – Environmental pathogens, cross-contamination, etc
• Supplier verification (likely included)

Inspection and Surveillance
– Assessing the compliance of individual firms through
a range of inspection and sampling techniques
– Making in-depth assessments of individual firms when
needed to increase the incentive for compliance and
determine need for compliance or enforcement action
– Collecting data to inform understanding and analysis
of sector-wide hazards, practices, and preventive
control deficiencies
– Collecting data on compliance rates to evaluate
program performance and plan future efforts

Administrative Compliance Tools
• FDA’s administrative compliance actions: – Administrative detention of product
• “reason to believe that an article of food is adulterated or misbranded.”
– Voluntary and mandatory recalls
• …and evidence its use or exposure will cause SAHCODHA
– Administrative suspension of registration • “reasonable probability” of causing SAHCODHA
• when other measures have failed or are inadequate

Judicial Enforcement Tools
• Complement non-judicial compliance actions:
– Seizure actions
• back up administrative detentions
– Injunction actions
• when suspension of registration is inadequate to prevent future non-compliance
– Criminal prosecution
• falsifying records, lying to FDA, knowingly putting consumers at risk

• If you were inspected in the recent past and FDA found L. monocytogenes, expect to be re-inspected
• If FDA finds the same L. monocytogenes strain again, expect that to result in severe action (suspension of registration, injunction, etc.)
